[USIC1]

I found out recently that the non union SMP locators have the opportunity to qualify for 400$ a month bonus program with the new company...

Must be nice...

And that could also be a nice donation for a worthy cause...

Not that Im jealous or trying to negate that beni or anything...

Yeah, but you have to be damage free, accident free and meet some unknown and yet to be announced overtime goal(can anyone say Catch 22?)
We are in the midst of picking up a new electric contract, a lot of us are keeping the same size territory and we are already hitting 50% OT. I don't think the co. will lose much sleep in the DFW area about paying out a Bone-us to us here . Maybe up North .
(I think they dug up my old carrot and tried to hang it off the same old pole)

Besides, I have been averaging over $2,000 a month in OT most of the year - $400 isn't much of an incentive.

So...I said I would get a football site up and running so that we could do a 50/50 game where the winner would receive 50% and a locator in need would get 50%. That is still in the works. But there is one little catch that USIC1 brought up. It is illegal since it is gambling. If someone wanted to make a stink about it, my name would be all over it and I could get in a wee-bit-o-trouble.

I still want to do it but I'm gonna have to password protect the whole site and post it here.

Any other ideas out there on how to avoid the "Man"?

Steve, the following site: http://www.gambling-law-us.com/Federal-Laws/ (us law), and http://www.gambling-law-us.com/State-Laws/Idaho/ (your state law); lists the federal and state law for this. Lots of lawyer jargon. What about somehow making a pay only section on the site. This may also fall under possible IRS issues. Or if someone knows of a religious capacity that could set it up and make it legal.
